memcmp() is unfortunately not guaranteed to read forward byte-by-byte,
which means that the clever use as a strncmp() without the pointless
strlen()s is not permitted, and can actually misbehave with
SSE-optimized string functions.
so implement proper equals() and starts_with() functions. as a bonus,
the calls are less cryptic.
the code was copied and the original adjusted ... but not quite
completely.
this means that clashing server names never really worked since - not
that i would have expected this to be a particularly common
configuration to start with. :D
also added comments explaining why there are two implementations of the
same thing.
amends aea4be19e3 (anno 2006).
found by coverity.
the trivial approach of having "home" and "root" stores produced ugly
results, and totally failed with the introduction of nested folder
handling.
instead, create a store per local directory, just as one would manually.

makes for leaner Channel sections.
note: the global delete and expunge variables exist so the command line
can override the config file despite the otherwise backwards behavior.
- introduce sys_error() and use it instead of perror() and
error(strerror()) in all expected error conditions
- perror() is used only for "something's really wrong with the system"
kind of errors
- file names, etc. are quoted if they are not validated yet, so e.g. an
empty string becomes immediately obvious
- improve and unify language
- add missing newlines
as opposed to earlier threats, BerkDB was not entirely dropped; i
suppose the isync 0.7 -> 0.8 change had a reason, so i added an
alternative UID storage scheme.
note that BDB 4.0 is not sufficient, as the db->open function changed in
an incompatible way ...
i updated the debian packaging except for a changelog entry.
note that i removed the upgrade blurb, as upstream now has a smooth
upgrade path down to at least isync 0.4.
